Fish thymocytes were cryopreserved by two methods, a programmed freezing method by a direct control system and a mechanical freezing method. There was no loss of viability or ability to respond to Concanavalin A compared to control thymocytes, up to 5 months after cryopreservation, and no difference between the two methods.
